Ladies,
Just curious is it ok to workout during that special time?????

I've never had a problem with it, I may not feel like it but once I get off my butt it actually helps my cramps!

I've been advised by my doctor that it actually helps to exercise during T.O.M. :ohwell: He said it helps with the "flow".

Personally the last thing I wanna do during T.O.M is exercise! But I too have heard that it helps with cramps and such.

I work out during this time and find that it really does help relieve the cramping.

I learned the hard way I can't jog/run on my heavy day(s). I had to keep running to the bathroom during my workout :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: I won't say why- but you guys know what I'm talking about.

During PMS I don't workout- I just relax and maybe take a slow stroll.

Walking,gently, helps aleviate some of my cramps and gives me an outlet for the Angry Bugs that seem to accompany my TOM.

I'm past menapause now, how did that happen? But always felt better when I worked out, it alleviated cramps (at least for some time) and I felt better. I am glad that more women are getting up and exercising. I am teaching my dtrs that ! God bless!

It helps me with my cramps. I have edometriosis really bad and I cramp throughout the month whether it is T.O.M or not. I should say used to. I was suppose to have a hysterectomy and I decided before I had surgery I wanted to lose some weight. I thought it would make my recovery easier. Within the first 20 pounds I lost the cramping had gotten lighter. Now I hardly ever cramp throughout the month, maybe just the 1st couple of days right before it starts. I canceled my surgery too. It's funny what losing a lil bit of weight can do. Back to the topic, Yes you can work out and you will feel better atleast I do. Hope this helps

Do it!! I don't know if you get irritable like I do, but exercise helps me be less cranky.
